Lekk

Both teams decline
CBJ are better off with the pick
MTL arent retaining on Petry + losing their best dman + giving up the 33th OA + another 2nd RD pick + Norlinder when they are rebuilding ...

Rn i feel like mtl wants quality over quantity, heard they were interested in lekk, and cbj doesnt have a vet rd while mtl will be likely to pull the trigger if its for a prospect they really want, norlinder is a sweetener as mtl is set on LD w guhle, romanov and xhekaj.

Xhekaj is looking good in the OHL but the proper order for best LHD are : Guhle, Romanov, Harris, Norlinder, Xhekaj, Fairbrother and Trudeau (Reserve List). MTL should keep them all (not signing Trudeau tho) and see who outplays who. CBJ still decline, why would they need a veteran RHD at the cost of 12th OA but MTL should take a quality pick over the veteran RHD ? Both teams are rebuilding so they should have the same mentality

I’d accept as a Mtl fan. Need quality over quantity. And I love lekkerimaki

feels like cbj might be a few years ahead of mtl for their rebuilding, and they need a vet rd to shelter some of their prospects trying to make the lineup. as for mtl, they might take a shot at letang, if not, their d lineup could end up being romanov-savard edmundson-barron or guhle and maybe harris and it feels like they might re-sign wideman as he's got some leadership and isnt afraid to drop the gloves for the younglings. but yeh it really depends on cbj.
